User's notes

This site was previously reported by JackyF on 14 Dec2018 at https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sighting/3878134. TomT is also reporting it. We were fortunate to see a male on the nest when we arrived as well as three heads sticking up. The male noticed our presence but did not react, instead it kept looking away from us roughly to the east. This may have been where the female was. After a little while she landed on the branch, and he was straight off the nest to fly away to the east. She then took over at the nest. It did not appear she was feeding them. She also continued looking to the east, away from us, despite our presence.
